"The absence of limitations is the enemy of art." That's how I justify refurbishing my little netbook running Xubuntu when I have at least three other faster systems with more resources.

Replaced the HDD with SSD. Upgraded from 1 GB to the maximum 2 GB RAM. (Woohoo!) New battery on the way.

I should be so much more creative now. Who needs a Core i7 and NVIDIA graphics when you've got a screaming Atom processor from 5 years ago?
